…e…I’ve been very curious as to the measurements of those mannequins inside J.Crew stores. They look so tiny, and the clothes always have inches of fabric pinned behind them. Are there any savvy J.Crew employees reading this who might know? I’ve been temped to whip out my measuring tape inside J.Crew, but I’m not thick skinned enough to brave the embarrassment of getting thrown out by a teenager in a sweater vest… Does anyone have a vintage or clas…
…to really feel relaxed. I did like the high-lo design of the hem and lower crew neckline, but the sheerness is very uninviting, especially as the temps continue to drop. I can just feel that biting wind blowing right through this thing…brrr… The approximate measurements of size xs petite are as follows (laid flat): Shoulder: 14″ Bust: 17.5″ Waist: 16.5″ Sleeve: 4″ Bicep: 6″ Length: front: 20″ back: 24″ Gap Vintage Relaxed Tee // Size xs petite *40…

…At this point in my life, I certainly can’t afford a high-end designer wardrobe, but I would love the option to buy a few special pieces in petite proportions that would hopefully not need invasive alterations. A girl can dream… Is there a retail market for high-end designer petite sizes? Would you splurge on high-end designer items if they came in petites?

…my mind, and their current blazer offerings are quite boring. Here enters J.Crew. Just look at those details! I’m completely smitten with those buttons, and adore the inside ticket and lipstick pockets. Fully lined, reinforced buttons, and working sleeve buttons are other great details. There’s even a chest pocket for pocket squares (he he). The fabric is a thin and soft wool flannel, which is perfect for most seasons here in Southern California….
…ass Plum department at Nordstrom, and until I discovered my favorite Paige jeans, all my denim was juniors department finds. Of course, then there are the mistakes…like this Abercrombie and Fitch tank that I bought two of! How embarrassing! When I first found it, I liked the lace detail along the top of the bust and bottom hem, and thought it would be a nice feminine detail to have peak out from under a cardigan. I tried on a size XS, and it was c…
…cal neckline is high enough to be modest, but still an interesting detail. Petites: Petite asymmetrical tee – Grey suede, $39.50 Now, here it is in size XXS petite on my 4’11” self. Banana Republic Asymmetrical Tee in size XXS petite. The neckline is ill-proportioned on someone so short. The bottom of the V comes down way too low and to far to the side, so that it is no longer modest, and actually shows my bra. The shoulder width, torso width, and…

It looks like the writer, Bernadette, hasn’t blogged since last year, but maybe if she gets a gentle nudge via an influx of petite moms commenting for her to come back, she’ll feel inclined to return to blogging and sharing her experiences with us all? ;) Any petite moms have advice for L.?

…the shoulders and back. Another view of the baggy shoulder and back. This petite coat is not very petite! In fact, I’ve found better fits with the regular size 2 Burberry coats. I thought maybe it was just because this coat is wool/cashmere, and not the traditional trench fabric. But then I stumbled across this petite Burberry coat in size 2P at Nordstrom and tried it on. I found the fit was only slightly better than the wool/cashmere coat! It wo…
